      That explains it. I was starting to think vogelcommando took this and he (or she) is like 120 years old. ;)

      I think that this is the only photo of this form that I have seen to feature a live animal. It's a pity that it's so overweight.

      I have seen this image, along with two others of the same individual and a third of what may be a separate individual, floating around on the internet in the past.

      In fact there are two living animals on the picture ( above left side on the rock there is a second animal ).

      The third picture of TLD is from Hagenbeck.

      I have found two other photos of this same animal, one of them is a good colour one. (You can find it if you google 'caspian Tiger museum'.)

      It is labelled as the last Caspian Tiger in captivity, at Hamburg from 1955-60.

      Does anyone have any details of its capture/origin?
